Might just take it to an exhaust shop and get them to fit it for me. That way i know if they snap a bolt, they fix it. I on the otehr hand, dont have the tools to fix anything major.

Just bitching about my unproductive day. Me and Jenkies decide today is that day to put my new intercooler and dump pipe on. Front bar comes off easy as, no problems. Bit of trouble trying to get the stock cooler off.

Decide to have a break before we take it off. glance over to my intercooler box, peel back a bit of packing tape and see "R33 Kit". well now, thats not what i ordered?

so anyway, put everything back together, make sure all bolts are on. ok time for dump pipe.

or, not.

nuts have seized, no chance in hell of getting them off.

so for just under 5 hours of labour, we accomplised:

- found one nut on the cat was really loose, tightened.

- removed thermo fan so cooler core will fit.

lesson for today. pay someone to do it for you.

I'm pretty sure that R32/33/34 intercooler kits are interchangeable as most of them use the factory hot pipe side of the piping and for the cold side you have to cut a hole so there won't be a problem there with lining up as well. Better pull it all back off again.

no dont coz they will make u pay for the snapped stud.

i have tried that wen i wanted my screamer on and they said nothing about it n i mentioned that sum of the nuts mite be tight n they said if it snaps it not there fault and u have to pay to get it removed.

and if nothing is mentioned about it they will still make u pay! it sucks but they class it as not there fault because they are just doing wat you asked them to do.

Yeah but the mounting brackets that were supplied wont fit.

    • Miraculously warps again despite every possible method of trying to ensure even torque on the bolts. I'm very tempted to blame the pressure plate at this point. Everything else as far as I can tell does not have any runout issues. I double-checked to make sure the friction discs are oriented correctly and the hub is properly seated on the friction discs.
    • What about after you put it back together again?
    • MX5 goes into MX5 Mania tomorrow for the "camed 2.5 big block" swap 🤪 A week later than expected, but they found a lower Km engine than the first one and needed time for it to be pulled and inspected  I did take it for its last spin with the 2.0 today, great day for top down driving, drove it to Altitude 1148 to lunch with Jackie Took the long way home down Bulli Pass, then home via the Nasho, lots of traffic, but typical for a weekend/public holiday, I had to time some sections to get "free air" for some of the twisties though, but a nice little cruise none the less, the car is handling great, and it sound awesome when I'm up it Looking forward to seeing the difference that 0.5 ltrs and some cams make
    • I've still got the og shell in the shed and the new shell is almost ready to race again.  I've got a Motec M150 in the car and just sorting a driveline vibration and putting in 10mm fuel lines then it will be running again.
    • Bang for buck, simplicity and heaps of aftermarket support I would be looking at what BYP are doing with civics and integras. Really it all depends on what class or what type of Motorsport you are looking to do and also your budget. Budget to one person might completely different to another
